...so when skier mentioned he was working a 601 rudder kit just because he had it laying around, I remembered that I had an old HiMax/MiniMax rudder kit in the garage (I bought it during one of TEAM's "get started" rudder sales because it was too cheap to pass up).

Being in dire need of building something simple made of wood I dug out the kit and got started. The rudder, if I finish it, will probably never go on an airplane (If/when I build a HiMax'ish sort of airplane I won't build the rudder this way) but it sure felt good to have glue stuck to my fingers again :gig:
